[Verse 1]
A#              G
You hung up the phone

And I asked you what was wrong

Your dad has come to town

He'd like to meet

I said "You don't have to see him"

You were holding my hand hard

He said, "Honey, you sure look great

Do you get the checks I send on your Birthday?"
[Chorus]
       C
I would kill him

       F
If you let me

       C
I would kill him

         F
Quick and easy

          C          A#
Your nails are digging

      F
Into my knee

        G          F        D#
I don't know how you keep smiling

Pressing in until they burst

I clear my throat

    G               F
And say we ought to get home

   D#          A#
He offers us a ride

  G                  F       D#
I reply, "No, that's alright"

                 G
And when we leave

             D#
You feel him watching

      A#          F               D#
So we walk a mile in the wrong direction
[Chorus]
       C
I would kill him

If you let me

       C
I would kill him

Quick and easy

Your nails are digging

"You two are connected by a pure coincidence

A#               G               F           D#
Bound to him by blood, but baby, it's all relative

A#                 G         F                D#
You've been in his fist ever since you were a kid

    A#                G         F             D#
but you don't owe him shit even if he said you did
